let's get to the horn of africa
This is an area that's charmed visitors throughout the years. In the 1920s, intrepid British travel writer Rosita Forbes described it as having "gorges of clouded amethyst" while UNESCO lauded it as "one of the world's most spectacular landscapes", with its jagged mountain peaks, deep ravines and precipices plunging more than 1500 metres. As you stride through grassy meadows scattered with everlasting daisies, bright yellow St John's Wort and golden acacia, it's easy to understand its charm. And as you scramble up basalt cliffs and admire the breathtaking views in every direction – always looking out for the tragic giant lobelia, a lofty plant that grows for up to 20 years, flowers once, then dies – the sky's rarely empty either. The park is revered by birders for its variety and sheer numbers, with awe-inspiring glimpses of the huge lammergeiers, the bearded vultures, with their two-metre wingspan, and tawny eagles.
